Question

what is hypotonic and hypertonic solution

Answer 1

Hypotonic- The amount of Solvent is greater than amount of Solute

Hypertonic- The amount of solvent is lesser than amount of solute.

Thus movement of solvent takes place from Hypotonic to Hypertonic.

Answer 2

              if the medium  surrounding the cell has a higher water concentration than the cell, meaning that  the outside solution is very dilute , the cell will gain water by osmosis.such solution is called hypotonic solution
if the medium has a lowe rconcentration  of water than the cell, the cell will lose water such solution is called hypertonic solution
